Mistakes to Run With chronicles the turbulent life of Yasuko Thanh, from early childhood in the closest thing Victoria, BC, has to a slum, to teen years as a sex worker and, finally, to her emergence as an award-winning author. As a child, Thanh embraced evangelical religion, only to rebel against it and her rigid parents, cutting herself, smoking, and shoplifting. At 15, the honour-roll runaway develops a taste for drugs and alcohol. After a stint in jail at 16, feeling utterly abandoned by her family, school, and society, Thanh meets the man who would become her pimp....

Sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Or at least get some streams on her mixtape. As the daughter of an underground rap legend who died right before he hit big, Bri's got massive shoes to fill. But when her mom unexpectedly loses her job, food banks and shut-off notices become as much a part of Bri's life as beats and rhymes. With bills piling up and homelessness staring her family down, Bri no longer just wants to make it - she has to make it.

A girl grows up in Nunavut in the 1970s. She knows joy and friendship and parents' love. She knows boredom and listlessness and bullying. She knows the tedium of the everyday world and the raw, amoral power of the ice and sky, the seductive energy of the animal world. She knows the ravages of alcohol and violence at the hands of those she should be able to trust. She sees the spirits that surround her and the immense power that dwarfs all of us. When she becomes pregnant, she must navigate all this.

Contributions include essays from established and up-and-coming writers, performers, and critics.

Vivek Shraya has reason to be afraid. Throughout her life she's endured acts of cruelty and aggression for being too feminine as a boy and not feminine enough as a girl. In order to survive childhood, she had to learn to convincingly perform masculinity. As an adult, she makes daily compromises to steel herself against everything from verbal attacks to heartbreak. Now, with raw honesty, Shraya delivers an important record of the cumulative damage caused by misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia, releasing trauma from a body that has always refused to assimilate.

So what if it's true that Black women are mad as hell? They have the right to be. In the Black feminist tradition of Audre Lorde, Brittney Cooper reminds us that anger is a powerful source of energy that can give us the strength to keep on fighting. Far too often, Black women's anger has been caricatured into an ugly and destructive force that threatens the civility and social fabric of American democracy. But Cooper shows us that there is more to the story than that.

Growing up in majority-white schools, organizations, and churches, Austin writes, "I had to learn what it means to love blackness", a journey that led to a lifetime spent navigating America's racial divide as a writer, speaker, and expert who helps organizations practice genuine inclusion.

In 1966, 12-year-old Chanie Wenjack froze to death on the railway tracks after running away from residential school. An inquest was called, and four recommendations were made to prevent another tragedy. None of those recommendations were applied. More than a quarter of a century later, from 2000 to 2011, seven Indigenous high school students died in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The seven were hundreds of miles away from their families, forced to leave home and live in a foreign and unwelcoming city.

"We were eight years in power" was the lament of Reconstruction-era black politicians as the American experiment in multiracial democracy ended with the return of white supremacist rule in the South. Now Ta-Nehisi Coates explores the tragic echoes of that history in our own time: the unprecedented election of a black president followed by a vicious backlash that fueled the election of the man Coates argues is America's "first white president".

A global movement guided by love. Humans are a varied and divergent bunch with all manner of beliefs, morals, and bodies. Systems of oppression thrive off our inability to make peace with difference and injure the relationship we have with our own bodies. The Body Is Not an Apology offers radical self-love as the balm to heal the wounds inflicted by these violent systems. World-renowned activist and poet Sonya Renee Taylor invites us to reconnect with the radical origins of our minds and bodies and celebrate our collective, enduring strength.

In 1985, Anthony Ray Hinton was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder in Alabama. Stunned, confused, and only 29 years old, Hinton knew that it was a case of mistaken identity and believed that the truth would prove his innocence and ultimately set him free. But with an incompetent defense attorney and a different system of justice for a poor black man in the South, Hinton was sentenced to death by electrocution. He spent his first three years on Death Row at Holman State Prison in despairing silence.

Description

The emotional and powerful story of one of the cofounders of Black Lives Matter and how the movement was born. When They Call You a Terrorist by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele is the essential audiobook for every conscientious American.

From one of the cofounders of the Black Lives Matter movement comes a poetic audiobook memoir and reflection on humanity. Necessary and timely, Patrisse Cullors' story asks us to remember that protest in the interest of the most vulnerable comes from love. Leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement have been called terrorists, a threat to America. But in truth, they are loving women whose life experiences have led them to seek justice for those victimized by the powerful.

In this meaningful, empowering account of survival, strength, and resilience, Patrisse Cullors and asha bandele seek to change the culture that declares innocent black life expendable.

This program is read by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and includes a bonus conversation.

Ce que les critiques disent

"Steeped in humanity and powerful prose.... This is an eye-opening and eloquent coming-of-age story from one of the leaders in the new generation of social activists." (Publishers Weekly)

"With great candor about her complex personal life, Khan-Cullors has created a memoir as compelling as a page-turning novel." (Booklist)

"This remarkable book reveals what inspired Patrisse's visionary and courageous activism and forces us to face the consequence of the choices our nation made when we criminalized a generation. This book is a must-read for all of us." (Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow)

"Narrating her own work, Patrisse Khan-Cullors shares the salient moments of her life that led her to become a founder of Black Lives Matter...pain, frustration, and joy [emblazon] each word she utters." (AudioFile Magazine)

"When They Call You a Terrorist...help[s] readers understand what it means to be a black woman in the United States today." — New York Times Book Review

This book is a must-read! #Audible1

I'm so glad this book is available in audio, and I'm so glad and grateful to the author for reading it themself! It's a wonderfully courageous, honest telling with sharp, astute political analysis. But also an analysis that links the personal and the political. And it's a deeply engaging listen! I couldn't turn it off, and listened to the whole thing in one night. Khan-Cullors is a great story-teller, and the stories they select to tell are both highly personable and get their point across like an arrow to the heart! So, as said above, this book is a must-read/listen for anyone seeking a deeper engagement with the politics of race and class. Though, I would also recommend it for those new to those areas, as Khan-Cullors writes in a very clear, highly accessible, down-to-Earth way. Definitely a book to keep coming back to!

Very educational

Memoirs of one of the three women who founded #BlackLivesMatter, with a focus on growing up in what was essentially a police occupied part of LA during the War on Drugs. She spent a lot of time talking about police interaction with her and her family, especially her brother who had mental health problems and was in and out of jail most of his life instead of getting treatment. The second part was more about her highschool years, and her growing activism as a community organiser and then as one of the founders of BLM, with a lot of attention to the facts, statistics and theory behind her political views.

It's a pretty solid piece of polemic in that regard, that starts out with a quote by Assata Shakur and an intro by Angela Davis, in case you're wondering what political ground on which we've landed. A lot of it felt very tied in with the history of the Black Panther Party that I read last year, and this seemed to me a guns-free continuation of the work they were trying to do.

What probably interested me a little more was the way that Khan-Cullors works at integrating her political beliefs into her family life, and the way she's struggled to understand how her family (especially the repeated incarceration and deaths of her male relatives) has been shaped by politics. She talks a lot about the difficulty of maintaining relationships when struggling with family problems and the pressure of being an activist, she talks about how to raise a kid in this world, she talks about being queer and dating men, and what marriage means. Honestly, she seems really smart, and really cool, and the kind of person you'd want to hang out with.

Would highly recommend for contemporary history. I was definitely pretty fuzzy on the details when it came to the origins of BLM, and this lays it out nicely.

Everyone should listen!

Would you listen to When They Call You a Terrorist again? Why?

Yes, as a white person, it has given me a much better understanding and therefore more empathy of the reality in which black people live. Some of the scenes reminded me of what it might be like to live in a country with war on our soil; our fellow Americans live in constant fear. It is a piece of art, beautifully written.

What did you like best about this story?

A deeper understanding of America's history, present and future.

Have you listened to any of Patrisse Khan-Cullors’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, I have not.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Cry and laugh.

Any additional comments?

Listen to this book. You will not regret it.

Must Read

This is a must read book. Patrisse tells a story much like my own in the wake of childhood trauma, but seeing the differences in how we were both treated was incredibly eye-opening. This is the book you need to begin your journey as an ally seeking to help end white supremacy. Read it. Read it again. And again. Listen. And help.

I've never been in a terrorist's shoes

This book was by far one of the most telling and purposeful stories I have ever read in relation to black stories. I am purposefully trying to surround myself with stories from POC and I came accross Patrisse. Her voice is not only engaging while listening to her story, but I felt as if I was able to step into her shoes for only a brief moment. I, as a white woman, will never experience the aggressions Patrisse, and many other POC do; however, I felt very compelled to get involved in this movement. I truly learned what BLM is and how important it is for so many black lives. My title says "I've never been in a terrorist's shoes". However, this book allowed me to understand what it's like to have empathy for those who experience such hatred and disregard for their life. I know that BLM is NOT a terrorist organization. But Patrisse paints a picture in this book that allows others to understand the ugliness, terror, and unjust nature that comes with being called a terrorist. Being saught out as such for most of her life. Her story includes heartbreak, courage, struggles, and much more. I highly reccomend listening to her tell her story with such stregnth. I admire the hell out of her! Thank you!

It acknowledges people who have been hurt by the justice system and tells their stories - stories that NEED to be heard.
